Bullets and numbering

Affinity Publisher lets you create simple lists directly from the context toolbar, or by choosing from a preset bullet, number or multi-level list. If you want to go a step further you can create custom list styles by selecting your own glyphs, symbols, numbers and letter formats. You then have the option of replacing an existing preset with your own preset based on your own custom list style.

Lists can be applied to normal text (as local formatting) or to text styles equally.

To create a simple bulleted or numbered list:

With text selected or an insertion point made, do one of the following:
- Select Bullet List or Decimal List from the context toolbar.
- On the Text panel, select a bullet or number list option.

To create a custom list:

With text selected or an insertion point made:
1. From the Text panel, tap Expand next to the bullet list option.
2. Select a Type of bullet or number list to base the custom list on.
3. Choose from additional symbols by tapping on the Text field. You can enter characters and spacing into this field to customise the appearance of your list.
  By tapping the Text field and using the More button, you can select from additional glyphs and symbols.
4. The Tab stop and alignment settings allow you to customise the position of your list text.
5. Start numbering at—for numbered lists, you can adjust the number the list starts from.
6. Restart numbering—for numbered lists, you can restart the numbering at certain points within the list.
7. Restart numbering now—enable to immediately restart the numbering from the current point within your list.
8. The Name setting lets you name your new list format and set it as a global format which can be used across the document, while the Style setting allows you to associate your list formatting with an existing text style for future use.
Your text will be automatically updated as you make changes via the panel.
